Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped onion (about ½ of a small onion)
  • 15 ounce can diced tomatoes (drained (or 15 oz can tomato sauce))
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 ounce can chopped ripe olives (drained)
  • 4 ounce can chopped green chilies (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • fresh chopped chives or parsley for garnish if desired

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9”x9” baking dish or 10-inch oven safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, stirring often. Drain any grease from the pan.
  • To the beef, stir in tomatoes, corn, olives, chiles, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened; about 10 minutes. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a medium sized bowl, stir together the cornmeal, milk, sugar and eggs just until combined. Mixture will be thin. Spread evenly over the beef mixture in the pan, then top evenly with the cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Top should be golden brown and the sauce should be bubbling up on the sides.
  • Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and sliced green onions if desired.
  • Top individual servings with sour cream and parsley or chives for garnish, if desired.
